Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup frozen corn (or any preferred frozen vegetable)

1/2 cup diced red onion

1/2 cup sour cream

1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Mix the Chicken Base: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, frozen corn, diced red onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Assemble the Casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

        Layer the Tater Tots: Carefully arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the chicken mixture. Ensure they are evenly distributed for even cooking.

          Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots.

            Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color. Serve warm and enjoy!
